Carolus Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist and zoologist, is credited with developing the modern classification system for living organisms. In his work, Systema Naturae, published in 1735, Linnaeus introduced a systematic hierarchy of classifying and naming organisms based on their similarities and differences. This system, known as binomial nomenclature, is still widely used today in the field of Biology.

What kind of information did Sputnik and II provide?

Sputnik I went into low Earth orbit on 4 October 1957 and provided information on the density of the upper atmosphere, and basic information about the ionosphere.Sputnik II went into orbit on 3 November 1957 carrying the first (intentional) living passenger, a part Samoyed terrier named Kudryavka (Koo-dri-yav-ka, meaning "Little Curly"), who was later renamed Laika (Li-ka, meaning "Barker"). PS-2's mission was to gather biological information about Laika, to survey via Geiger counters charged particles in the upper atmosphere, and to read ultraviolet and x-ray emissions and cosmic rays with the onboard spectrometer.


What is the function of genus?

Genus is a rank in the classification of organisms, representing a group of species that are closely related and share common characteristics. It helps scientists organize and categorize living organisms based on their similarities and evolutionary relationships. Genus is used in binomial nomenclature to form the first part of an organism's scientific name.
